The 15 Best Wool Anniversary Gifts to Celebrate Seven Years

While every wedding anniversary is a big deal, hitting the seven-year mark with your spouse is particularly noteworthy since some people believe the milestone can be a turning point for couples’ happiness. Of course, there’s no actual science behind this notion, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still use it as an excuse to celebrate your relationship and the love you share with a symbolic anniversary gift. 

Traditionally, the seventh anniversary calls for an item made from copper or wool, as both materials denote warmth, comfort, and protection. Many couples looking to honor their time together opt for cozy wool gifts: from ultra-plush throw blankets to the softest slippers, there’s something for everyone. “There are so many clever options when it comes to celebrating a wool anniversary year,” according to Peg Dunnem, a design director at Quince & Co. If you lean towards DIY projects, wool is the perfect medium to create something unique for your spouse.

What to Look for in a Wool Anniversary Gift 

• Your Partner's Interests: It depends on your spouse's interests and hobbies. Do they relish quiet time at home, curled up with a good book? A soft throw or warm slippers could be the perfect gift combo. If they're outdoorsy or love to hike, dry-wicking socks or a rugged sweater may be just the thing they need to add to their pack. If you don’t see a wool gift that fits your needs (and if you're DIY-inclined), consider knitting or crocheting your own. “Creating a handmade wool piece to keep your sweetheart warm and cozy is the ultimate labor of love,” says Dunnem.
